Notes:

Graduated Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from UCLA in 2016 with a major in Economics and minor in Entrepreneurship.Major GPA: 3.84 and overall GPA: 3.81. GRE is a 323: 162 V, 161 Q, and 5.5 AWA. I retook the test and got a 321: 158 V, 163 Q, and a 6.0 AWA. After graduating, I worked at a smaller, top-tier strategy consulting shop (think A.T. Kearney, Oliver Wyman) for 1.75 years; took 4 months off to travel and figure out next career move. Ended up at a growing direct-to-consumer wine/spirits company, top 25 U.S. domestic producer, as an analyst working in operations. Within a year of starting at new company I was promoted to a manager level role, focusing on strategy and analytics. Would love to gain some insights into school list and GRE score (a lot of conflicting information online). Also, I've been listening to the podcast, really appreciate Alex and Graham's content! Would love to be profiled on the podcast, though I bet there are a lot of interesting candidates. Happy to provide more details if helpful! Alex, if you have time to respond to this post, your insights would be very appreciated!
